Benjamin Moore

Sierra Hills

1053

Sierra Hills reads as a warm, mid-range neutral with clear fawn brown undertones, sitting at hex #CDB99F and an LRV of 49.2. It occupies the center of the light-to-dark spectrum, reflecting roughly half the light that hits it, which gives it a solid, grounded character without appearing dim. The brown base carries a slight yellow-pink warmth that becomes more visible in north-facing rooms.

It layers well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove for lighter trim, Simply White on ceilings, Newburg Green for earthy contrast, Guilford Green for a muted complement, and Fernwood Green for an organic palette.
